Superb soundstage.
I bought the 600 Ohm version since my headphone amp can drive it. Buy a 250 Ohm version for other home hifi. The detail I hear is unsurpassed and the soundstage is vast. Made a great choice.

Best headphone for the price!!!
These headphones are just awesome. Mids are super smooth and bass is tight and well separated. People with bass head who are looking for head thumping bass may not find these headphone for their liking. They are super comfortable to wear for hour long sessions. When you buy this headphone make sure you have good headphone amps to drive them.

Beyerdynamic 483966 DT 990 Premium 600 ohm HiFi Headphones I own this headphone AND the DT 990 PRO 250OHM headphone. I really think in my opinion these are the best OPEN CAN headphones for the price range. I bought a bunch of other ones in the price range before and ended up very unsatisfied. Example: Philips Audio Fidelio X2HR, Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X , Sennheiser HD 599. None of those were acceptable to me. My ears just really gravitate to BeyerDynamics GT990 series headphones so why not just buy it again ? I bought this one because I wanted to use it for just dedicated music listening on my hifi stereo. I use the 250ohm "pro" for computer usage for mastering multitrack recordings (note not for actual recording since they leak a LOT due to openback design, but for mastering songs). HEre is my main obvservations between these "premium 600ohm" vs "pro 250ohm": 1. These are lighter on the head 2. These have straight cord rather than coiled 3. The obvious GREY vs black open back look 4. These are 600ohm , and require a good headphone amp to drive them -- my stereo has a really good discreet headphone amp and they sound amazing -- without an amp, you will find them somewhat quiet. The 250ohm require less power to drive them and actually can be used direct to phones too 5. This 600hm version sounds just a TOUCH crisper than the 250ohm version --- if you dont like clinically crisp sound, then you will not like them. 6. To be honest, I find for some reason the "airyness" or "open" "wide" sound stage is better on the 250ohm version (?) It 's likely i have not broken them in enough but at first listen, thats my gutt feel. After a good 50hours maybe i'll feel differently. 7. This comes with a very nice case If you dont know what the DT900 series sound like in general? I will describe them as extremely open and "airy" , very wide 3D sounding headphones. They are not the flattest response but thats not what i want in music listening. It's an exciting musical headphone, very forward treble crispness. Not heavy bass but very well balanced bass and just enough mid end presence to make vocals sound right up there. Comfort-wise, I've yet to ever complain wearing them for an entire 8hour work day!! NEVER gets hot around the head. Never fatiguing because it is very light. Portability isnt the forte since it doesnt really fold. It's too bad the cord isnt replaceable though. I'm really happy with this and i highly recommend giving this a shot if youre around the ballpark of ~250-350 price range and looking for an openback set.

So this is an out of the box review of the 990 edition, so first 24 hours of ownership. I am a bit of a headphone nerd so can tell pretty quickly if I’m going to like a pair of headphones. I currently own AKG 702 & 7xx, senn HD6xx and Philips X2HR headphones so I am comparing the 990’s to those directly. I bought the “edition” version as I wanted a straight cable and the few other tweaks they’ve made to make them more “home friendly”. Build and design: so they look cool, better in person and feel well built (much better than AKGs for example). I would’ve liked the shells and grills to be metal but this would increase cost and weight so not necessary and purely aesthetic. Comfort: these are very comfortable. When you first put them on they don’t feel like they are going to be as comfortable as people make out but very quickly you forget you’re wearing them. I would rate them right up there on comfort out of the box. Most people rave about 650/6xx being comfortable, rubbish, those things hurt unless you’ve got a peanut sized head or you stretch out the headband which is easy to do. These need no “breaking in” in the comfort dept. Sound (most important bit): these are right up there with the best at under 500 dollars/pounds. They seem to tick all the boxes and combine all the best bits of the other headphones. They have plenty of bass but not too much, clear highs and have an airy feel to them or “wide soundstage” for all the audiophile nerds out there. Negatives: I have got the 250 ohm variant and they are a beast to power. I have the 300 ohm 6xx and the 990’s are harder to power than those. I have a zen DAC currently which powers them ok but I’ve had to crank it to over 2 O clock on the DAC to get a good volume level (I do listen to metal so quite loud). The zen isn’t the most powerful so your mileage may vary but a headphone amp is a must for these. Go for the lower resistance headphones if you don’t want to buy or do not have a headphone amp. I love these headphones and they are definitely going to be keepers. My 702’s have already been packed away!

Yüksek malzeme kalitesine sahip, audiophile seviyesinde bir referans kulaklığı. Harici bir amfiye bağlamanız iyi olur. Yüksek frekansları fazla ve detaylı verdiğinden, özellikle belli müzikler için @Oratory1990'ın equalizer ayarı uygulanabilir. Lambalı bir amfi de ekstra getiri sağlayabilir, ama normal amfi + EQ yeterli olur. Yüksek frekansların detayı, bass'ların diğer frekansları bozmaması ve "imaging" başarısı sayesinde, rekabetçi online oyunlara da uygundur. 2000 lira fiyat seviyesi için rakipsiz bir kulaklık denebilir. Zaman zaman 1900 TL civarına iniyor. DT 990 Pro'ya göre ergonomi ve malzeme olarak daha iyi. Ses kaliteleri aynı.

Je l'utilise aussi bien en studio que pour l'écoute de musique le soir. Il est plus confortable que son "frère" DT-990 Pro, avec les mêmes transducteurs et le même son. Celui-ci est moins serré sur la tête, et donc plus confortable sur longue durée. Une réponse en fréquence pas plate, il est généreux (sans exagération) dans les basses et un peu dans les aigus aussi. Je préfère ça à un casque trop "plat" comme le DT-880 qui va me faire augmenter les basses fréquences dans un mix exagérément. Rappelons que nos oreilles ont moins de sensibilité dans les extrémités du spectre, et ça s'accentue avec l'âge. J'ai essayé et possédé beaucoup de casques, et celui-là reste mon préféré.

Son mis primeros auriculares de este tipo. Suelo escuchar música con mi Equipo Hi-Fi, pero recientemente tenía la necesidad de usar auriculares para el sonido del ordenador, a la hora de hacer streaming. Sé que no es su uso más habitual, pero me echaba para atrás todos esos auriculares "gaming" llenos de colorcillos y de sonido muy artificial. Tras leer muchos análisis y demás, acabé dando con estos beyerdynamic, los cuales me llamaron principalmente la atención por los comentarios sobre su comodidad y buen sonido, los dos puntos fundamentales para mí. + Confort: Tengo la piel y orejas muy sensibles, casi nunca he usado auriculares por esa razón, los roces, el peso sobre la cabeza o que aprieten mucho, es algo que siempre me dejaba al cabo de poco rato, la piel rojiza y mucho malestar. Estos auriculares son especialmente cómodos, pueden pasar horas y en especial las orejas no sufren en absoluto, no aprietan nada y aún así quedan perfectamente sujetos, además tengo orejas pequeñas y caben a la perfección dentro de los aros, junto al mullido terciopelo, que es una delicia. El arco de la cabeza está acolchado y como mucho al cabo de un rato noto el roce del "peso", sin ser algo extremadamente molesto, muevo un poquito la posición si eso sucede y ya, pero soy consciente de que eso es por mi hipersensibilidad en mi cuero cabelludo. Fue todo un acierto elegir la versión Edition, por sobre la Pro, dado que la Pro aprieta más, esta es perfecta para el que quiera confort y no sentir como presiona el auricular a su cabeza. Este queda sujeto perfectamente y sin presionar. + Calidad: Indudablemente es un auricular de mucha calidad. Si ya entramos en valoraciones audofilas, es como todo, para gustos colores, no me pondré a comentar sobre los altos, los medios, los bajos... creo que esos puntos ya los han tocado muchos expertos en otros comentarios del producto, además que dependerá también de la fuente con la que los uses. Para mi gusto el sonido es estupendo y estoy más que contenta. Elegí la versión de 250 Ohmios, porque ya que adquiría unos quería optar por algo de calidad, por lo que se necesita amplificación de auriculares, ya sea disponiendo de un Amp externo o, como es mi caso ahora mismo, la misma placa base y su sonido integrado disponga de esa capacidad. Tengo una Gigabyte z270 Gaming 5, y trae un Amp de 3 niveles, con el nivel 3 escucho todo a un volumen estupendo (siquiera uso más del 50% de volumen en el PC) y la calidad está más que aceptable si no te vas a poner selecto. En mi caso, como los voy a usar para streaming y oír los juegos, música en el ordenador, esta solución con mi placa está aceptable. ¿Que quieres ir más allá y sacarle un partido más selecto al audio? Una opción que he leído muy recomendada y que quizá a futuro valore, es adquirir el stack de un Schiit Modi 2 + Magni 3, uno hace de DAC (mejor audio que el de la placa) y un AMP que dará la potencia suficiente. Por ahí he leído que también es una delicia usarlo con el Schiit Valhalla 2 (como AMP), pero ahí ya nos vamos a un precio mayor (depende de lo que uno necesite y quiera gastar). Otro tema que me daba "miedo" a la hora de comprarlos, es que al ser abiertos, dejan salir el sonido, por lo que quién esté cerca oirá lo que oyes. Me preocupaba que el sonido que salen de ellos, fuera captado por el micrófono que uso para los streamings, un Blue Yeti, y llegase a molestar en las emisiones. Debo decir que NO ocurre, el sonido que deja escapar el auricular no es tan elevado como para que sea un problema para mi uso, además estoy más que contenta con que sean abiertos, porque la sensación del auricular abierto es muy agradable, no sientes tus oídos encerrados dentro, respiran más y el sonido no se siente tan embotado, al contrario, es más envolvente e inmerso. Recomiendo mucho la compra de estos auriculares.
